Embark on a colorful hike through our gardens and along our trails. Learn why leaves change color in the fall and conduct a chromatography experiment to uncover the compounds responsible for the brilliant yellows, oranges, and reds of the season. Create a nature journal to use on the trail as we explore and document seeds, leaves, and cones. This engaging outdoor adventure will be an unforgettable learning experience for young tree huggers! Please note, this class requires the use of rubbing alcohol.
